A group of Ghanaians have unearthed what experts are calling the biggest gold nugget in the history of mining in Ghana.
The discovery was made in a remote mining community in Ghana, and it has sent shockwaves through the global mining industry.
The gold nugget was found by a group of young men believed to be ranging in age from 17 to 25. They had been working as informal miners in the area, sifting through the earth in search of precious metals, when they stumbled upon the massive nugget buried deep beneath the surface. The value of this newfound gold is estimated to be millions of dollars.
The young men, who are being hailed as local heroes, initially thought they had come across a large stone, but upon closer inspection, they realized it was gold.
The discovery has generated a frenzy of excitement in Ghana, a country with a rich history of gold mining.
Ghana is Africa's second-largest gold producer, and it has a long tradition of gold mining dating back to the pre-colonial era. However, a find of this magnitude is unprecedented in the nation's history.
